SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Last week, Bill Walton partnered with The Lucky Duck Foundation to deliver a powerful and emotional speech about his personal experiences dealing with San Diego’s now out-of-control homeless crisis.
Walton detailed how Mayor Gloria’s failed leadership has resulted in the destruction of “our once great city,” as he called on Todd Gloria to resign.
Walton shared personal experiences of being assaulted by the homeless while riding his bike in Balboa Park, and even getting his property stolen from his house. Walton emotionally said he’s brokenhearted to “no longer say that my hometown of San Diego, is the greatest place in the world.” Adding that he can “no longer urge my family, friends, tourists, and businesses to come to SD to live, work and play.”
Under Mayor Todd Gloria, there is a record high 1,609 homeless people living in downtown, at least according to the official August count. To make matters worse, there has also been a record high number of deaths among members of the homeless population in San Diego, people are literally dying on the streets.

Yeah, well that’s California!
I guess Bill isn’t a hippie anymore
He voted and pushed for it his entire life.
What? Are you crazy? A lot of the bums that left Kentucky for the California good life will be back riff raffing it around here.
You DEMANDED this, Bill.
You VOTED for this, Bill.
You attacked and pilloried Republicans who tried to stop this, Bill.
You make yourself comfortable with your decisions and maybe reflect on how you’ve wasted your life in otherways.
You folks over there created the cesspool with your thinking and voting. Live with it. No mercy. Do NOT come over here. You are NOT welcome.
Can AZ build a wall between its border with California?
Most overrated player in history
Some 20 years ago US Customs figured out that anyone with that look was likely a druggie, so they’d search people simply for that reason and got great results.
Needless to say, the Left forced them to stop.
Walton was a great BB player and great on fundamentals; I loved the way he played the game. The one healthy season he had with the 1986 Celtics was a joy to watch. (By the way, he was listed as 6’11” tall. After seeing him at the 1986 victory parade in Boston, I conclude that he was 6’11” at birth. The guy was easily 7’3”.) It’s too bad that injuries hampered him throughout his career.
That being said, on matters political or economic, he couldn’t find his ass with both hands and a map. He supports politicians who created the conditions that led to his “experience”. Will he see the light? Probably not.
